In Our Blood

Chapter 29

Lilith didn't want to explain as to why she was out of school so early, Benny was examining the baked foods, he always had a thing for sweets, though somehow he always stayed thin like he never at any thing more than 100 calories. After a bit of waiting Benny bought us some cookies and a coffee to share. I smiled at Lilith before leaving to go sit at the table by the window.

We finished our coffee and cookies and sat and chatted for a while. We talked about old memories and new memories we were going to make. We decided it would be best for Benny to stay at my house for a month or so, until he earned enough money to live on his own, then once I moved out, I could go live with him. My parents didn't like Benny all that much since he's influenced me to do many, "bad" things like alcohol and drugs, but I'm sure at least my mother would understand.

I got up to go talk to Lilith, once I walked over to her she looked like she was taking a break and talking to a old women, I looked around and saw that it was just me Benny and that old lady in the cafe. I walk over to Lilith and I smile weakly and I ask "when does your shift end?" Lilith looks up at me and says "Not for another hour or so... Why?"

"Just wondering if you wanted to come back to my place with Benny and I?" I shrug. I notice her glance over at Benny to see what he looked like.
